Pool Hopping Question?

[MOM POPPINS]

We will be pool hopping on our next adventure to WDW. I was wondering if there is a place to change into our suits. Which resorts if any offer this option. Which resorts have the "community" room for DVC? Can we use the towels at the pool area? What kind of ID do you suggest we have our temporary card? Thanks for the help!

the values resorts do not provide towels.

the moderate resorts only provide towels at the main pool not the quiet pools.

the deluxe generally have a restroom close by and yes you show your resort ID that says 'DVC MEMBER' on it to get a towel. If it doesn't stay DVC member forget pool hopping. You must be staying on points at a DVC resort to pool hop.

Does the pool-hopping privilege apply if you're renting DVC points? We'll be at BCV (one night) and VWL (5 nights) in Oct., and pool-hopping to PR was on my list of possible things to do.

We're taking this trip as a first step towards consideration of becoming DVC members. If pool-hopping isn't an option for point renters, I'd certainly understand...

Saratoga has towels and a place to change at both the main pool and the quiet pool.

If you Key (resort ID) says DVC member and it probably will - then yes you can pool hop.

while you are staying at the BCV - I would certainly go swim in SALB at the BC/YC - you can't pool hop to it from the other DVC resorts.

Thanks for the info. We're only spending our first night at BCV, so we're planning on dedicating most of that first day enjoying SAB.
